let me ask you about tax reform. you told politico last week that a, quote, a balanced approach to replacing the sequester with spending cuts and revenue should accelerate tax reform, and i believe it's fully possible this year if we work on a bipartisan basis, unquote. how does that square, sir, with the people who say that tax reform is going to lose out because of scheduling, the need to deal with the debt ceiling, the need to deal with the looming she quester and the house republicans' concern that if they do anything on tax reform, that they may leave themselves up to the senate not to take action, and, therefore, they've taken an unpopular vote for no reason. why are you optimistic on tax reform? >> first of all, we have to resolve this debt can crisis in terms of -- this debt crisis in terms of sequestration and in terms of the full faith and credit of the u.s. in the next six weeks. we aren't going to accomplish tax reform in the next six weeks. so we have a deadline that i think cannot basically be moved for

this is a big tax cut. so i say to you in terms of what has to happen next, i think it's going to require the revenue side of the equation and the spending side of equation to be addressed. let me just conclude by saying this. how do we get out of this in the current circumstance? the president said he's not going to negotiate on the debt limit. republicans say they will not vote for an extension of the debt limit unless they get substantial additional cuts in spending. i think judd is absolutely right. we have another dynamic at work here, and that is the sequestered. $1.2 trillion of across the board spending cuts, having defense, half in nondefense. republicans don't like it, democrats don't like it. that creates an opportunity. there's also the question of how long do you extend the debt limit. i think it would be incredibly foolish to renege on the debt of the united states. it would be enormous consequences. that is a losing proposition for everyone. but how long we extend the debt limit, that is open

and some say back taxes. and that they will learn english. many of them already have, and many of them are already paying taxes but not getting any credit for it. we can't run our economy without them. send those 11 million people home if you could ever find them, and it would be ugly. and so i suggest we're not going to round 'em up and deport them, nor should we. we have this debate, so let's not forget one fundamental issue, and that is who we are or what this nation was built upon. the dreams and the hard work of those who came here seeking a better life. the bottom line on immigration is that the status quo on immigration in our country is a fundamental loser. i'm optimistic that this time we have an excellent shot at getting immigration reform done. it is essential to our economy, our country and our way of life. now, we're very proud to be working with the partners on this stage, and we will work with others as well, and we will make passage of immigration reform legislation one of our top priorities t

of us like the tax code. when you talk about the ability to broaden the base, lower the rate and raise revenue, that is a pretty good system. it's pretty desirable to think about how to reform the tax code. but there are a lot of tough things when you talk about the specifics and the fact we need to deal with the mortgage deduction for state and local taxation then capping the discretionary you don't have to talk about a single specific policy. taxing the 1% is easy even if you are the 1% its current take more of that to fix the problem. now it's the hardest part so it's how we are going to unravel the next steps. clearly the next piece is going to have to focus on entitlement reform that's the biggest tax. we have to reaction moments coming up next months, the sequester that the extended for two months and it has broad base across-the-board spending cuts which is a wrong way to do policy. we are dealing with a tough recovery we want to phase in all these gradually and pick and choose and policy makers to pic
